masters,  and  students  of  said  Colege,  schools,  academies  or  other  institu- 
tions, established  by  them  under  the  authority  of  this  act." 
This  act  shall  be  in  force  from  its  passage. 


This  charter  by  the  General  Assembly  is  a  matter  of  special 
interest,  in  showing  Randolph-Macon  to  be  now  the  oldest  Metho- 
dist College  in  America,  by  date  of  incorporation. 

The  movement  to  establish  the  College  was  begun  in  response 
to  the  recommendation  of  the  General  Conference  of  the  Metho- 
dist Episcopal  Church,  in  1824,  which  was  "that  each  Annual 
Conference  establish  a  seminary  of  learning  under  its  own  regu- 
lations and  patronage."  The  Virginia  Conference,  at  its  session 
in  the  following  year,  considered  the  question  of  "establishing 
such  a  seminary."  The  chief  promoters  of  the  undertaking — the 
"founders"  of  Randolph-Macon — were  the  Rev.  Hezekiah  G.  Leigh, 
of  the  Virginia  Conference,  and  Gabriel  P.  Disosway,  a  wise  and 
liberal  layman,  both  of  them,  at  that  time,  residing  in  the  city  of 
Petersburg. 

In  April,  1830,  the  Board  of  Trustees  was  formally  organized. 
The  Rev.  John  Early  was  the  first  chairman ;  the  Rev.  William  A. 
Smith  the  first  secretary. 

The  erection  of  a  suitable  building  was  authorized,  and  the  work 
begun  as  soon  as  practicable.  The  site  was  near  the  village  of 
Boydton,  Mecklenburg  county,  Va.  This  situation,  near  the  line 
of  Virginia  and  North  Carolina,  was  chosen  with  the  view  to  the 
accommodation  of  both  the  chief  patronizing  States — Virginia  and 
North  Carolina. 

Randolph-Macon  began  its  scholastic  work  in  January,  1832, 
when  Hugh  A.  Garland,  brother  to  Dr.  Landon  C.  Garland,  taught 


24  Kandolph-Macon  College. 

the  first  class  in  the  preparatory  department.  The  College  proper 
began  its  work  the  next  October,  with  the  Eev.  Martin  P.  Parks 
as  President  pro  tempore.  The  Eev.  John  Emory,  afterwards 
Bishop,  was  the  first  president  elect.  The  Eev.  Stephen  Olin  was 
the  first  to  accept  and  serve. 

The  first  graduate  was  John  C.  Blackwell,  of  Virginia,  whose 
diploma  was  conferred  in  June,  1835.  The  first  class  taking  the 
whole  four  years'  course  received  their  degrees  the  next  year. 
From  that  time  continuously,  with  the  exception  of  several  years 
during  and  immediately  after  the  war,  classes  have  been  graduated. 

For  many  years  the  career  of  the  College  was  a  struggle  for 
existence;  but  during  these  years  of  stress  and  trial,  without 
endowment,  it  did  a  great  and  useful  work.  Many  of  the  foremost 
men  of  Methodism  were  connected  with  it;  and  from  its  body  of 
students  went  out  men  of  renown  in  Church  and  State,  not  a  few 
whose  lives  have  proved  a  signal  blessing  to  the  world. 

The  first  regular  endowment  fund  was  raised,  just  before  the 
war  between  the  States,  by  President  William  A.  Smith  and  the 
Eev.  H.  B.  Cowles.  But  the  war  closed  the  doors  of  the  College 
and  rendered  the  most  of  its  endowment  worthless. 

in  1866  it  was  reopened  under  serious  embarrassment.  Eail- 
ways  had  been  destroyed  by  the  war;  the  nearest  was  now  a  day's 
journey  from  the  College.  Besides,  the  North  Carolina  Conference 
had  established  a  college  of  its  own,  whose  patronizing  territory 
was  almost  in  sight  of  Eandolph-Maeon.  On  the  other  hand,  the 
Baltimore  Conference,  at  its  session  in  March,  1867,  had  offered 
its  patronage  to  the  College,  and  had  been  admitted  into  participa- 
tion in  its  supervision  and  privileges.  Under  these  circumstances 
the  removal  of  the  institution  to  a  more  suitable  locality  became 
necessary. 

Happily,  the  ideal  leader  in  this  hazardous  new  departure  was 
secured  in  the  person  of  the  Eev.  James  A.  Duncan,  D.  D.,  an 
aluninus  of  the  class  of  1849,  and  one  of  the  most  highly  gifted 
men  of  hifl  day.  Under  his  presidency,  the  College  began  its 
career  al  Ashland,  Va.,  its  presenl  Bite,  September,  L868,  and  very 
booh  it  reached  a  heighl  oi  prosperity  and  influence  to  which  ii. 
bad  never  before  attained.  In  its  service  the  president  laid  down 
hi-  life,  universally  loved  and  honored. 

The  successor  of  Dr.  Duncan  was  the  Rev.  VV.  \V.  Bennett,  D.D., 


Randolph-Macon  College.  25 

an  able  and  faithful  worker.  In  the  year  1886,  Dr.  Bennett,  in 
broken  health,  resigned,  and  in  the  same  year  Dr.  William  W. 
Smith  was  elected  president. 

Under  Dr.  Smith's  administration  the  endowment  was  largely 
increased;  four  new  buildings  were  erected,  including  a  new  gym- 
nasium; physical  culture  was  made  a  part  of  the  course,  and  the 
library  and  the  laboratories  were  greatly  enlarged  and  improved. 

But  the  most  notable  feature  of  this  administration  was  the 
founding  of  the  academies  at  Bedford  City  and  Front  Eoyal,  and 
the  Eandolph-Macon  Woman's  College  at  Lynchburg. 

All  these  institutions,  together  with  the  parent  College  and  the 
Danville  Institute  for  young  ladies,  are  now  under  one  Board  of 
Trustees,  and  are  united  in  a  single  educational  system. 

In  the  year  1896,  Dr.  Smith  was  made  Chancellor  of  the  Ean- 
dolph-Macon System  of  Colleges  and  Academies,  and  Dr.  J.  A. 
Kern  was  elected  President  of  the  College. 

President  Kern  resigned  in  1899,  and  Eev.  W.  G.  Starr,  A.  M., 
D.  D.,  was  elected  President,  but  resigned  in  1902,  and  E.  E. 
Blackwell,  A.  M.,  LL.  D.,  was  elected  as  his  successor.

General  Information 


Location 


Ashland  is  immediately  on  the  Kichmond,  Fredericksburg  and 
Potomac  Kailroad,  and  the  Eichmond  and  Chesapeake  Bay  Electric 
Railroad,  sixteen  miles  north  of  Eichmond,  npon  the  most  elevated 
plateau  between  that  city  and  Fredericksburg,  Va.  The  location 
is  distinguished  for  healthfulness  and  accessibility.  On  this  account 
the  village  of  Ashland  was  originally  incorporated  as  a  summer 
resort,  and  is  much  frequented  during  the  heated  term,  while  the 
comparative  infrequency,  and  the  brief  duration  of  severely  cold 
weather  make  it  especially  favorable  to  health  and  comfort  during 
the  College  session.  The  severe  pneumonia  and  violent  fevers  of 
the  mountains  and  the  malarial  diseases  of  the  Tidewater  regions 
are  comparatively  unknown.  There  are  no  saloons  in  the  town 
or  the  county. 

Nine  passenger  trains  each  way  stop  at  the  College  daily,  and 
hourly  trips  are  made  by  the  electric  cars.  Telegraphic  and  long- 
distance telephone  connections  are  had  with  all  parts  of  the 
country.     Mail  six  times  a  day. 

Grounds  and  Buildings 

The  campus  contains  about  twelve  acres,  beautified  and  shaded 
by  a  fine  grove  of  oaks  and  maples.  It  has  been  thoroughly  under- 
drained;  gravel  walks  have  been  laid  out,  and  many  other  Improve- 
ments conducive  to  the  comfori  and  convenience  of  the  students 
have  been  made 

The  buildings,  besides  professors'  residences,  are  five  cottage 
dormitories,  Branch  Memorial  Dormitory,  the  Pace  Lecture-Room 
Building  and  Chemical  Laboratory,  the  Duncan  Memorial  Chapel, 
the  Library  and  Hall-  of  the  Literary  Societies,  the  Gymnasium, 


Randolph-Macon  College.  27 

and  the  Pettyjohn  Hall  of  Science  for  lecture-rooms  and  labora- 
tories for  practical  work  in  Physics  and  Biology. 

We  publish  a  handsome  Illustrated  Booklet  containing  over 
fifty  views  of  the  grounds  and  buildings,  which  we  will  be  glad 
to  mail  to  any  one  upon  request. 

The  Observatory  contains  a  five-inch  equatorial  refracting  tele- 
scope, transit  instrument,  sextant,  etc. 

Libraries 

Libraries  consist  (1)  of  one  main  collection  of  books  on  general 
subjects,  hardly  second  to  any  in  Virginia,  after  those  of  the  State 
Library  in  Richmond  and  of  the  University.  Probably  the  most 
useful  department  of  the  central  library  is  the  large  collection  of 
bound  magazines,  dating  back,  in  some  instances,  to  1830.  These 
magazine  files  are  well  bound  and  readily  accessible,  owing  to  card 
catalogue  recently  installed.  The  general  reading  room  of  the 
College  is  in  the  main  library  rooms,  and  it  carries  on  its  tables  a 
comprehensive  list  of  American  and  English  periodicals. 

(1)  Of  special  memorial  collections,  such  as  the  Darden  English, 
Walton  Classical,  and  Bennett  Historical  Libraries,  which  are,  like 
the  main  library,  open  daily  to  all  students.  These  collections 
are  added  to  from  year  to  year  out  of  the  funds  accruing  from 
endowments  given  respectively  by  George  E.  M.  Walton,  Esq.,  of 
Hanover  county,  Va.,  in  memory  of  his  son;  A.  S.  Darden,  Esq., 
of  Norfolk,  Va.,  in  memory  of  his  son;  and  James  Cannon,  D.  D., 
of  Blackstone,  Va,,  in  honor  of  his  father-in-law,  Dr.  W.  W.  Ben- 
nett, for  a  long  time  President  of  the  College. 

(3)  Of  department  libraries  intended  for  use  under  the  imme- 
diate direction  of  the  various  professors.  The  most  important  of 
these  are  the  Chemical,  Biological  and  Historical  collections.  A 
large  collection  of  Government  documents,  including  the  Congres- 
sional Debates,  is  kept  in  a  special  room  adjoining  the  History 
lecture  room.  These  may  be  consulted  freely  under  the  guidance 
of  the  professor  of  that  department. 

The  main  library  is  open  every  day,  except  Sunday,  from  9  :30 
A.  M.  to  6  :30  P.  M. 

Literary  Societies 

The  Washington  and  Franklin  Literary  Societies,  meeting 
weekly  in  their  large  and  elegantly  furnished  halls   for  literary 


28  Eandolph-Macon  College. 

and  oratorical  exercises,  are  admirably  conducted  and  enthusias- 
tically sustained.  They  afford  to  every  member  an  opportunity 
to  acquaint  himself  practically  with  the  methods  of  procedure  in 
public  assemblies,  and  with  the  duties  of  presiding  and  recording 
officers,  and  give  invaluable  practice  in  declamation  and  debate 
under  the  stimulus  of  a  generous  emulation  for  the  rewards  offered 
by  them  for  excellence  or  for  progress.  They  also  edit  and  publish 
the  "Kandolph-Macon  Monthly/'  a  literary  Magazine,  and  issue 
each  session  the  "Yellow  Jacket,"  a  handsomely  bound  and  illus- 
trated College  Annual.  A  student  who  fails  to  identify  himself 
with  one  or  the  other  of  these  Societies  loses  an  unusual  oppor- 
tunity to  secure  for  himself  privileges  of  great  value. 

Religious  Opportunities 

The  daily  work  of  the  College  is  begun  with  religious  exercises 
in  the  Chapel. 

The  Methodist,  Episcopal,  Presbyterian,  Christian  and  Baptist 
Churches  of  the  village  hold  each  two  public  services  on  the  Sab- 
bath, and  at  least  one  during  the  week,  and  the  students  provide 
frequent  special  religious  meetings  for  their  own  benefit. 

Bible  classes  conducted  in  the  College  Chapel  on  Sabbath  morn- 
ings, offer  opportunity  for  Bible  study  under  the  instruction  of  the 
professors  and  officers  of  the  College  and  other  selected  teachers, 
in  addition  to  the  course  in  the  English  Bible  offered  as  regular 
College  work.  Several  preaching  appointments  in  the  neighbor- 
hood are  regularly  filled  by  ministerial  students. 

Young  Men's  Christian  Association. — This  organization  in  the 
College  offers  many  advantages  to  its  members.  It  unites  young 
men  of  different  denominational  preferences  in  bonds  of  mutual 
sympathy  and  fellowship,  and  gives  Christian  students,  while  away 
from  their  home-churches,  helpful  privileges  and  duties  as  members 
of  a  world-wide  religious  organization.  Under  its  auspices,  varied 
and  interesting  religious  exercises  are  held  in  the  dormitories  and 
in  its  nun  beautifully  furnished  room  on  the  campus,  and  seven 
Sunday-schools  are  sustained  in  the  neighborhood. 

Government 

Every  studenl  entering  the  College  is  presumed  to  be  a  gentle- 
man, and  bo  Long  as  be  remaina  connected   with  it,  is  treated  as 


Randolph-Macon  College.  29 

such.  In  particular,  his  word  is  relied  upon  implicitly,  and,  in  all 
matters  touching  his  own  conduct,  is  called  for  and  accepted  as 
the  basis  of  action.  This  confidence  in  the  integrity  of  our  students 
lies  at  the  foundation  of  our  intercourse  with  them,  and  when  any 
student  forfeits  it,  he  must  be  immediately  excluded  from  the 
College.  The  one  broad  rule  of  Randolph-Macon  is  that  all  are 
required  to  conduct  themselves  in  a  moral,  gentlemanly  and  stu- 
dent-like manner.  In  denning  these  terms,  such  special  regula- 
tions and  admonitions  will  be  given  as  circumstances  may  call  for. 
All  that  concerns  the  physical,  mental  and  moral  well-being  of 
our  students  enlists  our  affectionate  solicitude.  We  stand  to  them 
as  friends,  counsellors  and  guides,  and,  while  exercising  our  author- 
ity with  freedom  and  firmness,  shall  expect  their  obedience  to  be 
based  rather  upon  a  sense  of  right  and  an  appreciation  of  the 
necessity  of  system  and  order,  than  upon  the  fear  of  set  penalties. 
When  a  young  man  cannot  be  influenced  by  appeals  to  these 
motives,  we  do  not  consider  him  prepared  for  college. 

No  student  found  to  be  dissipated  or  persistently  idle  can  be 
retained.  We  shall  seek  earnestly  to  reform  any  such,  but  our 
duty  to  others  under  our  care  will  not  allow  the  efforts  to  be  long 
continued.  No  pains  shall  be  spared  to  maintain  a  pure  and 
wholesome  moral  atmosphere;  and  whenever,  for  any  reason,  we 
are  satisfied  that  the  presence  of  any  student  is  corrupting  others, 
or  that  his  influence  is  felt  for  evil  in  the  College,  we  shall  refund 
the  proportionate  part  of  the  fees  paid  and  require  his  withdrawal. 

Class  Organization 

After  an  experience  of  many  years,  during  which  both  methods 
have  been  tested,  we  deem  a  well-guarded  elective  system  prefer- 
able, under  existing  circumstances,  to  the  curriculum.  It  affords 
an  advanced  student,  having  special  aims,  the  privilege  of  pur- 
suing a  desired  course,  and  it  enables  the  Faculty  to  assign  suitable 
work  to  those  who  are  without  uniform  preparation,  or  who  cannot 
remain  long  enough  to  complete  the  full  course  required  for  a 
degree. 

Instruction  is  given  by  text-books  and  lectures.  The  effort  is 
made  to  secure  thorough  scholarship,  and  students  are  retained  in 
lower,  or  returned  from  higher  to  lower  classes,  until  the  professor 
considers  them  qualified  to  advance. 


30  Eandolph-Macon  College. 

As  each  undergraduate  course  is  satisfactorily  completed,  a  cer- 
tificate therefor  is  issued  to  the  student.  When  the  work  prescribed 
in  the  entire  course  of  instruction  in  any  subject  is  satisfactorily 
completed  by  an  approved  examination,  the  student  is  awarded  a 
Certificate  of  Proficiency  in  that  subject. 

Choice  of  Studies 

Students  will  be  enrolled  in  appropriate  classes  after  conference 
with  the  President  and  the  Professors.  Each  one  is  required  to 
have  no  fewer  than  fifteen  recitations  a  week,  unless  there  are 
special  reasons  to  the  contrary,  and  no  study  can  be  changed  or 
discontinued  without  the  consent  of  the  Faculty. 

Degrees 

The  degrees  conferred  are  Bachelor  of  Arts  and  Master  of  Arts. 
The  attainments  required  to  secure  these  degrees  are  as  follows :

The  work  of  this  departmenl  extends  over  a  period  of  three 
jrean  in  the  College  course  proper.     Two  years  of  introductory

study  in  Greek  are  provided  for  in  consequence  of  the  common 
neglect  of  this  subject  in  preparatory  schools,  but  these  courses 
are  counted  only  in  making  up  the  entrance  requirements. 

The  courses  of  reading,  in  which  there  is  steady  effort  to  express 
adequately  the  thought  of  the  Greek  author  in  clear,  idiomatic 
English,  begin  at  the  close  of  the  classical  period  and  follow  the 
stream  of  Greek  literature  back  to  its  sources.  Much  importance 
is  attached  to  syntactical  study,  which  begins  with  the  grammar, 
but  is  made  real  to  the  student  by  constant  illustration  from  the 
authors  read.  The  basis  of  this  study  is  Attic  prose;  with  this 
standard  the  usage  of  authors  read  in  other  periods  and  depart- 
ments is  constantly  compared,  and  the  results  are  fixed  in  the 
student's  mind  by  weekly  exercises  in  prose  composition.  In  addi- 
tion, there  are  outline  studies  of  Greek  history,  mythology  and 
literature,  and  the  student  enlarges  his  acquaintance  with  the 
Greek  classics  by  extensive  reading  in  English  translations. 

Sight  translation  may  be  given  on  examination.

Chemistry 

Professor  Canter. 


The  work  in  the  Chemical  Department  is  embraced  in  three 
courses  of  one  academic  year  each.  The  work  comprises  courses 
in  general  inorganic  chemistry,  blow-pipe  analysis,  qualitative 
analysis  by  the  wet  method,  quantitative  analysis,  gravimetric  and 
volumetric,  and  preparation  of  organic  compounds. 

Note. — Beginning  with  the  session  of  1908-9,  one  year  of 
work  in  science  will  be  required  for  admission  to  the  A.  B.  course 
in  chemistry. 

The  work  of  the  first  year  is  required  for  the  A.  B.  degree. 
For  those  who  desire  a  certain  amount  of  chemical  knowledge  as 
a  part  of  a  general  education,  the  course  is  especially  intended; 
and  it  forms  at  the  same  time  the  necessary  foundation  for  the 
further  study  of  chemistry.  The  descriptive  study  of  the  elements 
and  their  compounds,  following  the  periodic  classification  of  Men- 
deleeff,  will  be  the  subject  matter  for  lectures  and  recitations  dur- 
ing most  of  the  year.  Constant  practice  will  be  had  in  the  inter- 
pretation and  use  of  chemical  symbols,  formulae  and  equations. 
A  text-book  will  be  used,  and  the  most  important  principles  met 
with  will  be  enlarged  upon.  Each  student  will  work  at  least  four 
hours  per  week  in  the  laboratory. 

From  April  till  June,  a  series  of  lectures  is  delivered  on  some 
of  the  compounds  of  carbon,  and  a  very  brief  survey  is  made  of 
early  chemical  history. 

The  class  meets  for  recitation  four  hours  per  week  at  12  :35. 

The  laboratory  work  consists  of  (1)  General  Inorganic  Experi- 
ments.   Each  student  performs  two  hundred  and  fifty  experiments, 


50  Kandolph-Macon  College. 

illustrating  the  text  and  lectures,  and  writes  a  full  account  of  his 
work:  (2)  A  course  in  Blow-pipe  Analysis,  determining  metals  in 
unknown  specimens. 

The  laboratory  work  is  done  on  Wednesday  and  Friday  from 
9:15 — 10:55  and  from  2:25 — 4:15.  A  laboratory  fee  of  five  dol- 
lars per  term  is  charged. 

Text-Books. — Remsen's  College  Chemistry,  1901 ;  Laboratory  Manual  to 
be  selected;  Renouff's  Inorganic  Preparations;  Qualitative  Analysis  by 
Blowpipe — Martin. 

Second  Year 

For  admission  to  this  course  the  student  must  have  completed 
in  a  satisfactory  manner  Course  I.  The  second  year's  course  is 
elective  for  the  A.  M.  degree. 

A  detailed  study  of  organic  chemistry  will  constitute  the  class- 
work  for  the  greater  part  of  the  year.  The  subject  will  be  treated 
by  lectures,  and  text-book  will  also  be  used.  Lectures  on  the 
principles  of  Physical  Chemistry  will  be  given.  Parallel  work  in 
chemical  history  will  be  assigned. 

In  the  laboratory,  at  least  six  hours  per  week  will  be  required 
of  each  student,  and  for  some  a  longer  time  may  be  necessary  to 
complete  the  work.  A  laboratory  fee  of  five  dollars  per  term  is 
charged.  Class  meets  Tuesday,  Thursday  and  Saturday  at  8 :15. 
Laboratory,  Wednesday  and  Friday,  8  :15 — 12  :35. 

The  laboratory  work  is  classed  under  three  heads: 

I.  Qualitative  Analysis. — The  more  important  analytical 
reactions  will  be  thoroughly  studied,  and  the  student  will  analyze 
Bubstances  by  groups — both  acids  and  bases.  Complete  analysis 
of  numerous  complex  mixtures  of  acids  and  bases  will  be  made, 
and  ;i  practical  knowledge  of  analytical  operations  will  be  acquired. 

II.  Quantitative  Analysis. — At  the  beginning,  the  work  will 
\><-  complete  gravimetric  determinations  of  acidic  and  basic  radicals 
in  pure  substances.  This  will  be  followed  by  volumetric  analysis, 
including  alkalimetry,  iodometry  and  oxidation  methods.  When 
skill    in    manipulation    has   been    acquired,    the   student  will  be 

tied  more  difficult  work— analysis  of  fertilizers,  ores,  waters. 


Kandolph-Macon  College.  51 

III.  Organic  Preparations. — The  preparation  of  a  number 
of  organic  compounds,  illustrating  some  of  the  more  important 
reactions  in  organic  chemistry,  completes  the  practical  work  of  the 
year. 

Text- Books. — Remsen's  Organic  Chemistry;  Levy's  Organic  Prepara- 
tions.   Books  on  Qualitative  and  on  Quantitative  Analysis  to  be  selected. 

Third  Year 

For  those  who  expect  to  make  a  special  study  of  chemistry, 
either  as  original  investigators  or  as  teachers  of  chemistry,  and 
for  those  who  wish  to  become  analysts  in  applied  chemistry,  this 
course  is  offered.  Courses  I  and  II  in  Chemistry,  or  the  equiva- 
lent of  both,  and  a  reading  knowledge  of  French  and  German,  will 
be  required  for  entrance.  An  extended  course  of  reading  in  His- 
torical Chemistry,  Pure  and  Applied  Chemistry  and  Journal 
Literature  will  accompany  the  laboratory  work.  The  latter  will 
consist  of  special  quantitative  methods,  the  testing  of  new  methods 
in  analysis,  the  preparation  of  advanced  organic  compounds  and 
investigations  in  pure  chemistry. 

The  work  will  be  varied  to  suit  the  needs  and  intentions  of  the 
student. 

The  chemical  laboratories  are  large,  well  ventilated,  and  well 
lighted  rooms,  supplied  with  modern  conveniences  for  expeditious 
and  accurate  work.  Students  who  take  the  various  courses  in 
Chemistry  are  given  credit  for  the  work  done  by  Medical  Schools 
and  Engineering  Schools. 

A  well  chosen  library  and  current  numbers  of  several  foreign 
and  domestic  chemical  journals  are  available  for  reference. 


Geology 

Professor  Canter. 

The  course  in  Geology  and  Minerology  includes  oral  instruc- 
tion and  recitations,  two  hours  per  week,  during  the  entire  year. 
The  work  done  is  intended  to  give  the  student  a  fair  knowledge 
of  geological  phenomena,  and  to  acquaint  him  with  many  of  the 
commonly  occurring  minerals.     The  discussion  of  the  causes  and 


52  Randolph-Macon  College. 

processes  of  change  now  in  operation  on  the  earth  to  produce 
structure,  is  first  taken  up.  The  origin  and  mode  of  occurrence 
of  the  materials,  which  make  up  the  earth's  crust  is  then  studied. 
Specimens  of  the  common  rocks  and  minerals  are  used  for  illus- 
trative purposes,  and  the  student  will  be  encouraged  to  collect  and 
classify  rock  specimens.  A  brief  outline  of  the  principal  histori- 
cal features  of  the  changes  through  which  the  earth  has  passed,  as 
recorded  in  the  successive  rocks,  will  conclude  the  geological 
study.  A  suitable  amount  of  laboratory  work  during  the  second 
term  will  be  required  in  Mineralogy,  and  at  least  four  months' 
work  in  inorganic  chemistry  must  have  been  completed.  Crystall- 
ography will  be  illustrated  by  models  and  natural  crystals.  The 
student  will  be  familiarized  with  blow-pipe  methods  and  other 
chemical  tests  for  determining  minerals;  and  such  knowledge  will 
be  used  in  determining  unnamed  specimens.  The  museum 
attached  to  the  laboratory  contains  an  excellent  collection  of  geolog- 
ical specimens,  and  of  minerals,  including  all  but  the  rarer 
specimens. 

Additions  have  recently  been  made  in  the  line  of  supplies  of 
the  more  common  specimens,  and  these  will  be  used  for  analysis. 

Text-Books. — The  subject  will  be  treated  in  1908-1909  by  lectures  and 
by  text-books,  and  parallel  reading  will  be  assigned. 


Physics 

Professor  Messick. 

This  course  deals  with   the  elementary  facts  and  principles  of 
Physics.    The  subjects  treated  are  mechanics  of  solids,  liquids,  and 
,  beat,  magnetism,  electricity,  sound  and  light,  with  a  brief  out- 
line of  the  recenl   developments  and   applications.     The  lectures 
and    recitations    are    supplemented    by    numerous   demonstrations 
before  the  clast  by  the  instructor,  and  a  course  in  laboratory  work. 
A  knowledge  of  Mathematics  I  is  required  for  this  course. 
Three  lectures  or  recital  ions  and  four  hours'  Laboratory  work  a 
the  year.    Laboratory  fee,  $5.00  per  term.

Astronomy 

Professor  Messick. 

This  course  is  a  general  one,  and  is  treated  in  as  practical  and 
as  popular  a  manner  as  possible.  In  Descriptive  Astronomy, 
one  of  Young's  texts  is  used  as  the  basis.  The  uses  of  the  sextant, 
transit  instrument,  reflecting  telescope,  and  refracting  telescope 
are  explained  and  applied.  Frequent  meetings  are  held  for  obser- 
vation. All  the  principal  constellations  and  brighter  stars  are 
pointed  out,  and  all  the  prominent  and  characteristic  bodies  are 
viewed  with  the  telescope.  The  course  is  open  to  those  who  have 
completed  Mathematics  I.

Preliminary  Medical  Course 

Randolph-Macon  College  is  in  no  sense  a  technical  school. 
Many  young  men,  however,  are  looking  forward  to  the  study  of 
medicine  after  the  completion  of  their  regular  A.  B.  course.  To 
these  young  men  it  will  be  most  advantageous  to  incorporate  into 
their  studies  all  the  courses  in  Chemistry,  Biology  and  Physics. 
These  studies  form  the  basis  of  modern  medicine.  Such  a  young 
man  will  then  secure  not  only  the  mental  development  due  to 
systematic  collegiate  work,  but,  in  addition,  will  have  laid  a  firm 
foundation  for  his  professional  course.

Moral  Philosophy 

Professor  Bennett. 

This  course  of  instruction  is  divided  into  two  parts,  of  one 
year  each,  with  subjects  and  recitations  as  follows : 

First  Year 

1.  Psychology. — The  two-fold  nature  of  man,  psychical  and 
physical,  and  the  intimate  relation  of  each  to  the  other  is  discussed. 
The  attainments  of  physiological  psychology  are  passed  under 
review,  attention  being  especially  devoted,  however,  to  the  discus- 
sion of  the  mind  and  its  activities  as  revealed  in  consciousness. 
Lectures  are  delivered  upon  the  text  as  occasion  demands.  Four 
recitations  a  week  for  twelve  weeks. 

Text-Book. — Murray's  Psychology. 

2.  Logic. — This  study  includes  inductive  and  deductive  logic 
from  the  modern  standpoint  of  the  development  of  thought. 
Familiarity  with  the  principles  of  the  science  and  with  the  laws  of 
the  syllogism  is  insured  as  far  as  practicable  by  frequent  reviews 
and  by  special  work  assigned  to  the  student  from  week  to  week, 
original  examples  of  true  and  false  reasoning  being  scrutinized. 
Four  recitations  a  week  for  seven  weeks. 

Text-Book. — Creighton's  Logic. 

Reference  Book. — Davis'   Theory  of  Thought. 

3.  Ethics. — While  discussion  of  purely  speculative  questions 
is  not  widely  entered  upon,  the  principles  of  the  science  are  investi- 
gated, and  the  emphasis  is  placed  upon  a  clear  and  comprehensive 
system  of  morals,  which  will  prove  of  practical  service  to  the 
student  in  life.    Four  recitations  a  week. 

Text-Book. — Elements  of  Ethics   (Davis). 

Second  Year 

1.  History  of  Philosophy. — Beginning  with  the  Greek  school 
of  thought  and  reviewing  the  systems  down  to  the  present  day, 
the  different  periods  of  thought  are  marked  off,  and  their  inter- 


58  Randolph-Macon  College. 

dependence  and  relative  value  in  the  construction  of  systems  are 
carefully  indicated.     Three  recitations  a  week. 
Text-Book. — Roger's  History  of  Philosophy. 

?.  Metaphysics. — Sufficient  answer  to  the  Positivist  and 
Materialistic  systems  of  present-day  thought  is  found  in  this  queen 
of  the  sciences.  Dealing  with  primary  and  generic  causes  rather 
than  secondary  ones,  this  science  gives  the  underlying  foundation 
to  all  other  sciences,  and  holds  the  key  to  their  laws.  No  factor 
in  the  ultimate  determination  of  truth  is  so  essential  as  the  study 
of  the  problems  of  reality.  As  thorough  an  investigation  is  given 
of  ontological  and  phenomenal  reality  and  of  the  higher  problems 
of  speculative  philosophy  as  the  limited  time  allotted  to  their 
study  will  permit.    Three  recitations  a  week. 

Text-Book. — Bowne's  Metaphysics. 

3.  Theism. — God  is  a  fact  of  philosophy  as  well  as  of  theology, 
and  a  knowledge  of  the  arguments  upon  which  his  existence  is 
predicated  is  not  only  essential  to  a  complete  educational  course, 
but  is  helpful  in  the  search  for  truth  in  the  struggle  of  life. 
Hence  the  study  of  theism  is  incorporated  into  the  course  and 
receives  careful  and  thoughtful  consideration.  Three  recitations 
a  week. 

Text-Book. — Flint's    Theism. 


The   English    Bible 

Professor  Bennett. 

This  department  has  been  established  with  special  reference  to 

the  needs  of  students,  who,  from  any  cause,  are  unable  to  avail 

selves    of   a   larger   and   more   thorough   equipment   for   the 

Christian  ministry.    At  present,  there  are  two  courses  of  study,  as 

follows : 

First  Year 
1.   BlBLE  BISTORT. — Three  recitations  a  week. 

I  In     Bible  J    Stanley's    History    of    the    Jewish    Church; 
llnill.Mi       Bible  Atlas;   Cowan'a   Landmarks  of  Church  History;   Stalker's 

M  i    Hi  .i.iNd.     Schaafi  Through  Bible  Lands;  Stalker's  Life  of 
Paul 


Kandolph-Macon  College.  59 

2.  Bible  Introduction. 

Text-Books. — Robertson's  Old  Testament  and  Its  Contents;  McCly- 
mont's  The  New  Testament  and  Its  Writers. 

Parallel  Reading. — Bernard's  Progress  of  Doctrine  in  the  New  Testa- 
ment. 

Second  Year 

1.  Doctrinal  Theology. 

Text-Book. — Bank's  Manual  of  Christian  Doctrine  as  a  Basis  for  Lec- 
tures. 

2.  HOMILETICS   AND   PRACTICAL   THEOLOGY. 

Text-Book. — The  Ministry  to  the  Congregation   (Kern)   and  Lectures. 
Parallel  Reading. — Sermons  by  Distinguished  Divines  as  Appointed. 

Especial  emphasis  is  laid,  throughout  the  entire  course,  upon 
the  importance  of  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  Bible  and  its 
history.  Eeadiness  and  accuracy  in  exegesis  are  fostered  by  con- 
stant practice  during  the  second  year  in  analysis  and  the  discussion 
of  texts. 

Graduation  in  this  department  will  be  allowed  only  to  students 
who  have  passed  a  satisfactory  examination  upon  the  studies  em- 
braced in  the  first  year  course  of  the  School  of  English. 


Physical  Culture 

Director  Warren. 


In  adding  this  department  to  the  College,  the  Trustees  had  in 
view  two  well-established  facts: 

First.  That  to  maintain  the  best  results  in  intellectual  work, 
the  student  must  have  a  healthy,  vigorous  frame,  in  order  to  stand 
the  heavy  drain  made  upon  his  system  by  constant  mental  appli- 
cation. 

Second.  That  the  period  between  sixteen  and  twenty-six  years 
of  age  furnishes  the  best  opportunity  for  overcoming  hereditary 
defects,  for  filling  out  undeveloped  parts  of  the  body,  and  for 
building  up  for  the  work  of  life  a  sound  constitution. 

To  accomplish  the  first  end,  students,  on  entering  this  depart- 
ment, are  divided  into  classes  that  meet  three  times  weekly.     The 


60  Kandolph-Macon  College. 

instructor  sees  that  they  exercise  regularly  and  sufficiently,  and 
yet  do  not  go  beyond  their  strength.  The  apparatus  used  for 
these  classes  are  dumb-bells,  clubs,  wands,  ladders,  vaulting-horses 
and  chest-weights. 

The  second  object  is  more  especially  the  scientific  aim  of  this 
department.  Each  student  on  entrance,  is  measured  by  the  director, 
and  his  strength  tested  in  every  way  by  instruments  specially 
made  for  this  purpose.  These  measurements,  compared  with  the 
standards  taken  according  to  height,  show  him  where  he  is  physi- 
cally most  deficient. 

To  secure  a  degree,  a  student  must  attain  an  average  mark  of 
eighty  on  the  work  covering  a  session  of  his  college  course. 


Athletics 

Believing  that  Athletics,  when  properly  conducted,  are  of  great 
benefit  to  students  engaged  in  them,  encouragement  is  given  to 
this  side  of  College  life.  Football,  baseball,  basketball,  lacrosse, 
tennis  and  track  teams,  have  opportunity  for  practice  on  the  excel- 
lent athletic  grounds  of  the  College;  and,  under  proper  restric- 
tions, the  teams  are  allowed  to  participate  in  intercollegiate  con- 
tests both  on  our  own  field  and  elsewhere.  To  engage  in  any 
intercollegiate  contest  a  student  is  required  to  maintain  satisfac- 
tory weekly  average  standing  on  all  his  studies. 

Leave  of  absence  for  the  purpose  of  playing  intercollegiate  match 
games,  not  exceeding  four  days  in  a  session,  may  be  granted  to  the 
baseball  team  and  the  Football  team.  Before  a  team  can  leave 
college  to  play  a  match  game,  the  following  conditions  must  be 
complied  with: 

I.  All  debta  which  the  Athletic  Association  may  have  pre- 
riously  incurred  musi  have  been  [>;ii«l  in  full. 

'■  'I'Im-  Athletic  Association  musi   have  in  ils  treasury  enough 
'ji-Ii  t'»  pay  the  estimated  necessary  expenses  of  Hie  trip,    Guaran- 
competing  teams  and  subscriptions  by  responsible 
n    arded  as  cash.

Expenses 

The  authorities  of  the  College  encourage  the  practice  of  economy 
on  the  part  of  its  students,  and  we  hope  their  parents  and  guar- 
dians, as  well  as  the  students  themselves,  will  co-operate  with  us 
in  this  matter.  However,  the  expenses  of  students  vary  according 
to  their  habits  and  inclinations. 

Below  is  given  an  estimated  cost  per  student  for  a  collegiate 
term.    The  fees  for  a  session  are  twice  these  amounts. 

Fees 

The  Tuition  Fee  of  $37.50  is  intended  to  cover  the  cost  of 
tuition,  regardless  of  the  number  of  classes  or  schools  taken  by 
the  student. 

The  College  Fee  of  $10.00  is  a  contribution  to  the  general 
expense  of  maintenance  and  also  entitles  a  student  to  free  use  of 
the  libraries  and  reading  rooms. 

The  Medical  Fee  of  $2.50  includes  unlimited  professional 
services  of  the  College  physician,  and  use  of  the  hospital  and  its 
equipments,  but  does  not  include  medicines,  nurses'  attention  and 
other  incidentals. 

Special  Fees 

The  Physical  Culture  Fee  of  $2.50  is  charged  only  to  those 
who  take  the  course  of  this  department,  or  desire  the  use  of  the 
gymnasium. 

The  Chemical  Laboratory  Fee  of  $5.00  is  charged  only  to 
those  who  are  students  in  the  Chemical  Department,  and  is  for 
the  purpose  of  covering  the  cost  of  water,  gas,  chemicals,  etc., 
actually  consumed  in  its  laboratories. 

The  Biological  Laboratory  Fee  of  $3.00  or  $5.00  is  charged

Dormitories 

Cottage  System. — There  are  four  frame  cottages  conveniently 
grouped  in  the  northeast  corner  of  the  campus.  Each  cottage  is 
two  stories  high,  with  four  rooms  on  a  floor.  The  rooms  have 
two  large  windows,  facing  in  different  directions,  thus  insur- 
ing plenty  of  sunlight  and  fresh  air.  The  College  furnishes  only  a 
skeleton  wardrobe  to  each  room.  A  term  rental  of  $4.50  per 
student  will  be  charged  for  these  rooms,  two  in  a  room,  or  $6.00  per 
student,  one  in  a  room.  We  reserve  the  right,  however,  to  place  a 
room-mate  at  any  time  with  a  student  occupying  a  room  by  himself. 

A  bed,  bureau,  wash-stand,  table,  chairs,  stove,  and  a  student's 
lamp  is  all  that  is  needed  to  furnish  a  room  in  these  buildings. 

Branch  Memorial  Dormitory. — This  handsome  building  is  a 
recent  gift  of  Mr.  John  P.  Branch,  of  Eichmond,  Va.,  in  memory 
of  his  late  wife,  Mary  Louisa  Merritt  Kerr  Branch. 

This  Dormitory  is  shaped  like  an  E,  without  the  middle  prong. 
Though  appearing  to  be  one  large  building,  in  reality  it  is  three 
separate  buildings  of  practically  the  same  size  and  plan,  having 
no  inside  communication  with  each  other.  In  this  way  long  cor- 
ridors have  been  eliminated,  and  the  rooms  are  grouped  around 
the  entrance,  thus  insuring  its  occupants  against  the  noise  and 
tramp  incident  to  long  corridors  and  large  buildings. 

Each  room  has  a  large  closet,  the  double  rooms  having  two, 
and  every  eight  rooms  have  a  separate  lavatory,  with  stationary 
wash-stands,  shower  bath,  etc.  The  building  is  heated  by  steam 
and  Lighted  by  gas  or  electricity,  for  which  there  is  no  extra  charge. 

A  term  rental  of  $12.50  per  student  will  be  charged  for  one 
of  these  double  rooms — two  in  a  room,  or  a  single  room  for  $17.50 
one   (only)    in  a  room. 

An  iron  bed,  bureau,  table,  chairs  and  a  drop  lamp  is  all  that 

i-  necessary  to  furnish  a  room  in  this  building,  and  the  same  can 

ired  at  reasonable  coat  from  old  students,  or  from  merchants 

in    the    town. 

tudenl  occupying  a  double  room  alone  will  be  charged  Full 
rent  for  rc<  tn,  and  we  reserve  the  righl  to  place  b  roommate  with 
ime.

A  deposit  of  fifty  cents  will  be  required  for  each  key  furnished; 
which  amount  will  be  refunded  upon  return  of  key. 

No  sub-letting  of  rooms  in  part  or  whole  will  be  allowed  at  any 
time. 

Students  desiring  to  change  quarters  must  secure  permission  to 
do  so  from  the  Secretary  and  Treasurer. 

Rooms  are  awarded  for  a  full  session,  and  not  for  a  term. 

To  engage  a  room  in  advance  for  the  next  session,  it  is  necessary 
for  each  student  to  make  a  deposit  of  $5.00,  which  will  be  credited 
on  the  first  payment  of  rent  at  the  opening  of  the  session.  If  a 
student  fails  to  attend  College  and  occupy  the  room  engaged,  he 
will  forfeit  his  deposit.  Failure  to  have  this  amount  in  the  hands 
of  the  Secretary  and  Treasurer  by  July  15th,  will  be  sufficient 
evidence  that  the  room  engaged  is  not  desired,  and  the  reservation 
will  be  immediately  cancelled. 


Miscellaneous   Information 

Laundry  can  be  secured  at  $4.50  to  $6.00  per  term  from  washer- 
women or  from  the  steam  laundry,  near  the  campus. 

Furnished  rooms  may  be  engaged  in  the  town  at  $18.00  to  $27.00

64:  Eandolph-Macon  College. 

Terms  of  Payment 

All  college  fees  and  room  rents  are  due  the  first  of  each  term 
and  are  required  strictly  in  advance.  No  refunding  or  deduction 
in  these  fees  will  be  made  except  in  the  tuition  fee,  and  then  only 
when  a  student  is  disqualified  for  work  by  severe  illness  for  more 
than  a  half  term. 

When  two  or  more  students  from  one  family  attend  any  of  the 
Eandolph-Macon  institutions  the  same  term,  a  discount  of  ten 
per  cent  on  the  tuition  fee  will  be  allowed  to  each. 

Damages 

"We  require  a  contingent  fee,  from  which  all  damages  to  college 
property  can  be  paid,  but  any  student  who  may  commit  damage 
to  any  property  of  the  College  is  expected  to  report  the  same  to 
the  Secretary  and  Treasurer  and  pay  the  cost  of  repairs.  In  the 
case  of  unreported  damages,  the  cost  of  repairs  will  be  paid  out  of 
this  fund. 

Privileged  Students 

All  students  preparing  for  the  ministry  are  exempt  from  tuition 
fee.  Such  students  are  required  to  bring  the  recommendation  from 
their  preacher  in  charge  and  from  the  Local  Board  of  Education 
or  Quarterly  Conference  of  the  pastoral  charge  to  which  they 
belong,  and  to  give  conditional  bonds  for  the  payment  of  their 
tuition  fee,  which  bond  becomes  null  and  void  upon  their  devoting 
ten  consecutive  years  to  the  work  of  the  ministry  of  any  evangelical 
church  after  completing  their  education. 

The  sons  of  itinerant  ministers  of  the  Virginia  and  Baltimore 
Conferences  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  South,  are  also 
educated  without  charge  for  tuition.

Randolph-Macon  College.  65 

The  Minnie  A.  Winch  Ministerial  Aid  Fund. — By  the  will 
of  Mrs.  M.  A.  "Winch,  a  Christian  woman  rich  in  good  works,  the 
sum  of  $1,000  was  given  for  the  benefit  of  students  for  the  minis- 
try and  sons  of  ministers  at  the  College — the  borrower  giving  a 
bond  satisfactorily  indorsed,  which  begins  to  bear  interest  at  the 
close  of  his  course  at  R.  M.  C. 

The  A.  G.  Pritchett  Ministerial  Aid  Fund. — The  dividend 
from  this  fund,  amounting  to  $100  per  annum,  is  loaned  to  any 
young  man  studying  for  the  ministry  nominated  by  Mr.  John  Inge 
Pritchett,  its  founder,  or  in  case  he  fails  to  nominate,  to  some 
worthy  applicant,  preference  being  given  to  one  from  Pittsylvania 
county,  Va. 

The  E.  S.  Paulett  Ministerial  Aid  Fund  is  loanable  on  the 
same  terms  as  the  Anderson  Fund. 

The  Richie  Vaughan  Loan  and  Aid  Fund. — This  fund,  con- 
sisting of  $10,000,  was  established  through  the  liberality  of  Mrs. 
Emma  Lee  Vaughan,  in  memory  of  her  son,  Richie  Vaughan,  of 
Hanover  county,  and  an  old  student  of  the  College.  The  annual 
income  of  the  fund  is  to  be  used  in  scholarships  and  loans,  for  the 
benefit  of  students  who  may  need  such  assistance,  preference  being 
given  to  young  men  of  Hanover  county.  The  Vaughan  Scholar- 
ship aids  the  recipient  annually  to  the  amount  of  his  tuition  fees — 
that  is,  seventy-five  dollars.  Frequently  a  fractional  part  of  a 
scholarship  is  awarded.  When  loans  are  made,  the  borrower  gives 
a  bond  satisfactorily  indorsed,  bearing  interest  from  date. 

The  Thomas  C.  and  Ella  Williams  Scholarship  Fund. — 
This  fund  consists  of  $10,000,  $5,000  being  given  by  Mrs.  Ella 
Williams  in  memory  of  her  husband,  Mr.  Thomas  C.  Williams, 
and  the  other  $5,000  by  her  children,  in  memory  of  their  mother. 
The  interest  of  this  money  is  to  be  used  in  scholarships. 

The  Kindred  Scholarship  Fund. — This  fund  consists  of  an 
annuity  of  $300.00  to  be  awarded  to  a  worthy  student,  preferably 
from  Franklin  county,  Va.  The  recipient  of  this  scholarship  is  to 
be  nominated  by  the  donor,  Dr.  J.  J.  Kindred,  an  alumnus  of 
R.  M.  C,  and  now  of  New  York. 


66  Randolph-Macon  College. 

All  applicants  for  scholarships  and  loans  must  be  satisfactorily 
certified : 

1.  As  needing  the  benefit,  on  account  of  want  of  means. 

2.  As  fitted  and  prepared  for  the  regular  College  course. 

3.  As  studious  young  men,  of  good  moral  character  and  habits. 
Applications  for  scholarships  and  loans  should  be  made  as  early 

as  practicable  and  should  be  addressed  to  Wm.  S.  Brown,  Secretary 
and  Treasurer,  E.  M.  College,  for  approval  by  Executive  Commit- 
tee having  such  matters  in  charge. 

Very  considerable  additions  have  in  latter  years  been  made  to 
the  endowment  funds  of  the  College,  enabling  us  to  offer  increased 
facilities  to  the  young  men  who  are  seeking  to  prepare  themselves 
for  useful  and  successful  lives.  Contributions  to  this  fund  are 
investments  which  will  yield  rich  returns  in  the  benefits  conferred 
on  the  youth  of  our  own  generation  and  of  those  who  shall  come 
after,  and  through  them  on  Church  and  State.  It  is  hoped  that 
those  who  contemplate  such  benefactions  will  embrace  the  present 
occasion,  when  special  effort  is  being  made  to  increase  the  endow- 
ment, and  when  their  example  will  encourage  and  stimulate  others, 
and  thus  multiply  the  gift.  Correspondence  upon  this  subject  is 
solicited  by  the  President. 

We  would  also  call  the  attention  of  those  who  desire,  by  deed 
of  gift  or  legacy,  to  advance  the  cause  of  Christian  education,  to 
the  advisability  of  placing  their  contributions  with  an  institution 
of  established  character  and  permanent  and  extended  field  of  use- 
fulness. Every  addition  to  its  attractions  makes  preceding  gifts 
more  valuable,  and  the  new  contribution  is  in  turn  more  useful 
because  of  the  foundation  laid  by  previous  benefactions.  There 
is  no  danger  that,  from  insufficient  support,  the  donation  may  fail 
to  accomplish  its  beneficent  purposes. 

POSH   of  LEGACY. — "I  give  and  bequeath  to  the  Trustees  of 

Randolph-Macon    College,   at   Ashland,   Va.,   the   sum   of 

dollars,  for  the  benefit  of  said  Institution." 

Deedfl  of  gifti  should  be  made  to  "The  Trustees  of  Randolph- 
liacon  ( iollege,"  and  attested  as  similar  deeds  of  gift  in  other  cases. 

Application!  for  rooms,  or  for  further  information  should  be

The  Randolph -Macon  System 


The  Randolph-Macon  System  of  Colleges  and  Academies 
comprises  now  five  members,  offering  secondary  and  collegiate 
instruction  to  both  sexes,  but  in  separate  institutions.  Those  for 
young  men  and  boys  are :  ( 1 )  Eandolph-Macon  College,  at  Ashland, 
Va.,  chartered  in  1830;  (2)  Eandolph-Macon  Academy,  at  Bedford 
City,  Va.,  established  in  1890;  (3)  Randolph-Macon  Academy,  at 
Front  Royal,  Va.,  established  in  1892.  Those  for  young  women 
and  girls  are:  Randolph-Macon  Woman's  College,  at  Lynchburg, 
Va.,  established  in  1893;  and  Randolph-Macon  Institute,  Danville, 
Va.,  admitted  1897. 

These  five  institutions  are  owned  by  one  chartered,  self-per- 
petuating Board  of  Trustees,  to  which  public-spirited  men  and 
women  have  entrusted  large  means  for  the  purpose  of  providing 
facilities  for  the  education  of  young  men  and  women  under 
Christian  influences. 

The  organization  of  these  separate  institutions  into  one  system 
is  designed  to  secure  certain  definite  advantages. 

Time  Saving 

First,  The  close  correlation  of  the  courses  of  the  Academies 
with  those  of  Randolph-Macon  College  and  of  the  Institute  with 
those  of  the  Woman's  College  should  result  in  a  distinct  saving  of 
time,  and  hence  of  expense,  to  the  student.  School  and  college 
working  in  thorough  harmony  with  each  other,  belonging  indeed 
to  one  Board  and  under  the  supervision  of  one  general  officer, 
should  more  certainly  make  their  work  continuous  and  apply  labor 
with  less  waste  than  where  separate  ends  and  ideals  are  proposed 
and  independent  courses  are  offered. 

Economy  and  Permanence 

Secondly,  The  combination  of  resources  resulting  from  the 
ownership  of  the  five  institutions  by  one  Board  secures  abundant 
financial  facilities,  commanding  the  best  prices  and  largest  dis- 
counts.    The  responsibility  of  the  Board  as  a  chartered  corpora- 


72  Appendix. 

tion  being  undoubted,  and  the  permanence  of  its  general  work 
being  assured,  confidence  follows  all  its  undertakings,  and  strength 
is  given  each  institution.  In  educational  work  it  is  especially 
desirable  that  parents  and  students  be  assured  of  the  permanence 
of  the  institutions  which  they  are  invited  to  patronize,  and  whose 
influence  may  become  important  to  them. 

Opportunity  for  Selecting  Teachers 

Thirdly,  For  the  preceding  reasons  and  others  which  might  be 
named,  positions  in  the  System  are  specially  attractive,  and  choice 
teachers  are  at  all  times  available  for  the  corps  of  instructors. 

In  most  cases  of  teachers  selected  for  the  Academies,  those 
chosen  have  been  for  years  under  the  instruction  of  our  own  Col- 
lege faculties,  and  are  known  to  us  personally  and  intimately. 
Testimonials  are  proverbially  of  little  worth,  but  constant  and 
long-continued  contact  with  the  developing  student,  enables  one  to 
select  with  confidence  the  capable  teacher. 

Experienced  Supervision 

Fourthly,  Experienced  supervision  is  secured  in  having  a  Board 
in  charge  that  has  conducted  such  work  for  seventy-five  years,  and 
from  the  continuous  counsel  and  supervision  of  the  Chancellor  of 
the  System,  and  his  special  services  for  the  special  need  of  any 
institution. 

These  advantages  of  correlation  aimed  at,  and  to  a  degree  at 
least  realized  in  the  Randolph-Macon  System,  are  added  to  the 
individual  excellences  of  the  several  institutions  as  presented  in 
their  respective  catalogues. 

The  System  in  1907-1908  employed  about  one  hundred  officers 
and  teachers,  and  enrolled  over  a  thousand  students.

Appendix.  73 

This  college  is  classed  by  the  U.  S.  Commissioner  of  Education 
as  one  of  the  fifteen  colleges  for  women  in  the  United  States 
entitled  a  rank  in  "Division  A."  It  has  been  accorded  "the  highest 
registration  of  any  of  the  women's  colleges"  by  the  Education 
Department  of  the  State  of  New  York. 

Full  department  of  Physical  Training  with  three  instructors, 
well  equipped  gymnasium,  tennis  and  basket-ball  courts,  boat- 
house  with  row  boats,  canoes,  etc.,  and  four-mile  boating  beach; 
fifty  acres  of  campus  with  two  miles  of  prepared  walks. 

Handsome  and  commodious  dormitories,  with  modern  conven- 
iences to  accommodate  four  hundred  students.  Faculty  of  forty- 
nine  officers  and  teachers.  Four  laboratories  with  superior  equip- 
ment.

Randolph-Macon  Institute, 

Danville,  Va. 

The  Institute  offers  the  best  advantages  to  a  limited  number. 

The  buildings  are  equipped  with  modern  comforts  and  conven- 
iences. 

An  ideal  home  school.  The  boarding  department  has  accom- 
modations for  only  a  small  number  of  students,  and  these  are  con- 
stantly associated  with  the  fifteen  members  of  the  faculty  living  in 
the  building. 

The  attendance  has  steadily  grown.  During  1905-6,  one  hun- 
dred and  seventeen  students  were  enrolled;  during  1906-7,  one 
hundred  and  thirty-seven;  during  1907-8,  one  hundred  and  eighty- 
seven. 

The  course  of  study  meets  fully  the  maximum  college  entrance 
requirements,  and  in  addition  offers  classes  that  allow  those  young 
ladies,  not  wishing  to  go  to  college,  to  get  a  well-rounded  education. 

The  Faculty  is  made  up  of  experienced  teachers,  full  graduates 
of  the  best  colleges  and  universities. 

Kates  are  low  for  the  advantages  offered.
